If anyone is in the San Francisco area (or willing to drive up here), we have ten cockerels direct from greenfire looking for good homes. No, we don’t want payment, we just love the breed and want to help it grow. We love these birds, so we’re pretty choosy in whom we pick, but if you love your flock and are looking for a roo, let me know :)

Excellent thinking !

Incidently, DH drives up & down the west coast 3-5X a year, and I am constantly having him carry stuff from WA state to NorCal...so anyone up here may 'order' stuff from down there & he will transport. Please note than you have to have NPIP paperwork accompany birds/eggs/chicks transported interstate now....big brother is watching!

DH's next trip down to SF area (via I-5 through Lake County to Sonoma Co, Santa Rosa then Petaluma) will be in a few weeks.
PM me if you need something delivered not too far off the freeway.

Some one has imported the Silver Bielefelders? Or were you talking about the ones we all have?

This is kinda funny...actually, I'd have to tell you why I responded like I did.

Two years ago I had my main man cockerel decide he was a bird and crashed and broke his neck...serious bummer and not another male close to breeding age...so while my chicks grew up, I had about 10 very lonely Biel pullets....so I had Beauregard my awesome Silver Cuckoo Marans Cock go keep them company...and we hatched alot of chicks, for fun & the fact I figured they's be really super good layers...and so they are !

And they look like silver Cuckoos but for a tiny speck of gold on a few, in their neck cape area....sooooooooooo, we call them silvers.
Most lay a normal Biel type/colored egg, but a few lay a really dark egg, some dark with speckles...so that is the joke ....

As for actual Silver Biels, I have not seen nor heard of any..but guessing they are black & white like Spangled, Penciled or Lakenvelder patterned ?
Does anyone know ?
 
Actually for a breif moment I gave thought to rebreeding the F-1 gold/silver barred cockerel back to his mothers (the pure Biels) as you would do in the "Golden Cuckoo" recipe...
But I realized if I followed through with the recipe ...after 4 matings I would end up with...(my friend yells out "Golden Cuckoos!")
and I said, No, what I'd end up with is ......................

Bielefelders.....
